[Rockhounds] List: New Subject

[gene at fossilnut.com]

Lots of fossil collecting in the Houston area, if you want to do that. I 
used to live there.

Here are a couple.

The beaches at High Island hae Pleisocene fossils. Walk at low tide going 
east. I have found giant sloth, horse, mammoth and other fossils there.

There is or was a gravel bar on the west side of the Brazos River under 
I-10. If trhe water has receeded from the floods, it should be exposed. It 
produces petrified wood and pleistocene fossils.
